This old girl, from the lone picture, doesn't appear to be in too bad of shape.

Could be a very cool truck, cheap enough too.

Not sure what your looking at that looks bent, are you thinking the box looks a little funny compared to the cab? (if so I kinda see what you mean look atht eway the trim on the box and cab doesnt line up)

I see what you mean. The box looks a little high behind the cab.

I suppose it depends on how much it'd cost to safety it. But like the other guys said, that's a pretty good price.

Once I blew the picture up a couple of sizes it didn`t look all that bent up but it is fairly rusty. A rare find though.....

That price is pretty cheap as long as the frame isnt actually bent.

A guy can get a front end anywhere, and a box might be tougher to find. Might be able to get complete sides from like lmc maybe?

Even if the frame is bent 800 bucks is damn cheap.

THe truck does look bent. The tailend of the box is downward. Something just not quite right. Try and find a nother frame will be a problem. 4x4 have heavier frames than 1/2 tons.

I didnt know the 4x4 frames were heavier. In the next generation all the half ton frames are the same, it just changes from half to 3/4 ton.
